The starting point for all recordkeeping activities is the business activities undertaken by organizations, groups or individuals. Business activities generate a need for information. That information need requires documentation and documenting procedures in order to preserve and make the information available.

pass malmö boka tid Records are the material documentation of business activities that can serve as evidence of those activities.

wybielanie zębów lampą led efekty To provide the organizations with information, trustworthy documentation and evidential records, recordkeeping procedures and systems are necessary. The need for records would thus occur as a consequence of the work process, and the recordkeeping activities must be performed in a way that supports the needs of the organization.

affär ord på engelska roligt To develop functioning procedures and systems it is thus necessary to understand the context in which they are supposed to work. The purpose of the research area is to investigate the contextual conditions for recordkeeping activities and to outline a theoretical and methodological foundation for the forthcoming studies.

audi a4 avant 2007 mått Within Swedish archival discourse, use of records has often been connected to issues of the democratic control of society in relation to the legislation concerning freedom of press and official documents. During the 1980s several public reports concerning archival issues were published. The starting point was a report from the Ministry of Education (Ds U 1981:21), which was supposed to give an overview of the area. On the basis of the contemporary legal framework, the report stated the following purposes of records: the individual’s and the media’s insight into and control of public affairs; the agencies’ and the individual’s need for reliable information sources. In the latter case grade certificates, title deeds and registers were claimed to be of special importance, i.e. documents of evidential character; the researchers’ need for a pluralistic and reliable source material. Records are thus supposed to fulfil a wide range of purposes, for different actors over time, which makes heavy demands on the recordkeeping systems.

The use of written documentation is a fairly recent practice in human history (e.g. Ong, 1991), and the recognition of written documentation as trustworthy evidence is even more recent (MacNeil, 2000). To what extent documentation can be considered as records, and the actual function of records are depending on socio-cultural, institutional and technological factors.

mobilt bredband jämför The development of information technology has brought about profound changes in communication practices, production, work processes and the distribution of work (e.g. Castells, 1996). Technology has also had a profound impact on archival practice and theory in recent decades. In his highly acclaimed work from 1992, Charles Dollar identified what he called ”technology imperatives”, inevitable changes forced by technological development, affecting archival practice and principles. These imperatives were: 1) the changing form of documents; 2) the changing methods of work; and 3) changing technology.

Changes in methods of work concerned the growing independence of time and space, decentralization, new forms of collaboration and the eroding of hierarchical structures. Finally, Dollar stated that ”...technological innovations fuel new innovations” (Dollar 1992, p. 42), referring to the shorter life span of computer hardware and software, leading to technological obsolescence and the risk of information losses. Dollar argued that these technological changes affect the theoretical principles, primarily the concept of records and archival methods.

beskrevet på nynorsk This development has led to an increasing interest in archival issues and the generation of standards, models and best practices concerning archives and records management, e.g. the ISO standard 15489, MoReq, and the works of the InterPARES project. As a result requirements for records and records management systems have been elaborated and are now more far-reaching than they ever were in the traditional paper-based environment.
